Frequently asked questions

What is Lemsip Cough Max For Mucus Cough & Cold used for?+
Lemsip Cough Max is an over‑the‑counter combination product that relieves cough with mucus, nasal and chest congestion, as well as fever and mild pain associated with colds and flu. It combines a decongestant, an expectorant and an analgesic/antipyretic to address multiple upper‑respiratory‑tract symptoms in one dose.
How does phenylephrine, guaifenesin and paracetamol work together?+
Phenylephrine narrows blood vessels in the nasal lining, reducing swelling and congestion. Guaifenesin thins and loosens mucus, making it easier to clear from the airways. Paracetamol blocks central cyclooxygenase enzymes, lowering pain signals and body temperature. Together they provide comprehensive relief of cold‑related symptoms.
